Answer 1

Hi!

Your question is kind of confusing. Please state exactly what the question says, including punctuation and proper grammar.

12 inches=1 foot. 6 inches=1/2 foot. That already means that 2.5 inches is a heck of a lot smaller than 9.5 feet!

Here, you'll need a scratch paper or a calculator to find this equation's solution if you haven't memorized this yet.

I know that 12×9=108. That means 108 inches are in 9 feet. 12 (inches in a foot) × 9 (feet) =108 (inches altogether) We're not done yet, though, because there's still .5 feet left. That means there's 6 more inches! (half of a foot). 108+6=114. 108 (inches altogether) + 6 (half of a foot, just like 5 is half of 10) = 114 in. (new total in inches for the Condor).

Whew! Impressive!

In perspective, 114 vs 2.5 is a LOT of a bigger wingspan.

It's simple math, now. 114-2.5=111.5 inches difference.

Hope this helps!
